SofTech’s CADRA® is a full-featured mechanical design and drafting program designed with a clear goal in mind: to significantly increase your company's production of mechanical drawings.

Using CADRA, engineers, designers, and drafters produce industry standard detail, layout, and assembly drawings; 2.5D designs including isometrics; and technical illustrations, typically in less time and with fewer steps than any other CAD program. You’ll achieve tangible, measurable results to accelerate your product development efforts to better compete in today's global economy.
